Mental Health And The Church
We have a desperate need in our society to address mental health and especially in the church which is often taboo. Add to the issue of mental health, race where certain groups especially minorities don't receive or seek the treatment that they so desperately as often as their counterparts. We are shrouded in shame too busy trying keep too many secrets meanwhile we are suffering in silence, but know this dirty wounds can never heal properly so the truth must come out. Counseling is a wonderful tool that can be used, in a safe and therapeutic environment and seeking professional help doesn't make you crazy! But it makes you wise enough know when you need a release of those toxic emotions. Children of God you can be saved and still need to be on medication for your imbalances, chemical, mental, hormonal or otherwise. Don't confuse your spirituality with your possible need for treatment, there such as being so heavenly minded that are no earthly not even to yourself. God is a healer but until have received your healing in manifestation you best option is to be on your medication. I am tired of some in the church insensitivity to those around you metal health needs they are often met with so much judgement and opposition. Also why aren't advocating for more social services, why aren't we talking about mental health so we can then do something about it. This my sincere plea to our society, a call to action rather to help us help our ourselves with God's help and your cooperation!
